I have a collaborative style of teaching. My ultimate goal is to get students to think, regardless of their age. With younger students, I tend to be much more directive so that we accomplish intended learning. With middle and high school students, I ask "Why" and "How do you know" quite often so that they learn to provide evidence for their thinking. Getting the RIGHT answer isn't the goal -- understanding and developing critical thinking processes are much more valuable! I have two decades of experience in education. My first 10 years were spent in adult education training adults to work in various organizations in the business world. My last 10 years have been spent in public education classrooms working as a teacher for elementary, middle, and high school students. I have taught core content courses at each level. Therefore, I understand how each grade level builds upon the te

While in college, I served as a volunteer and a tutor for adults earning their GED, for elementary students in an after-school program, and for migrant youths learning to speak English. After graduating with a BS in Sociology and Anthropology, I began a career in social services which offered me further opportunity to work with diverse populations and improve my skills for assessing people's needs and priorities. Three years ago, I eagerly transitioned to teaching beginning my new career as a math and science teacher and working particularly with ESE students. I quickly advanced to Education Manager in which I wrote Individual Education Plans, tested students, and attended to numerous other tasks to ensure the success of the students. I now work as a life coach in which I motivate and encourage students and adults to expect more from themselves and from life. I believe that when teachers

I am very fond of the unit study method that helps students work all aspects of certain skills in one concentrated subject. For instance, studying restaurants and working on math, spelling, descriptive writing, science and nutrition all in one lesson. Being creative yet organized is my style. I like to let the students lead the direction of some of the instruction while providing enough structure to insure successful acquisition of skills. Goals are more easily met when there is a good student teacher relationship. Relationship and trust are the key in my experiences with students. My experience in Title I schools has been very exciting and rewarding. I have been able to use my degree in English as a resource for reading and writing and saw great results as my students' skills and interest levels soared as each year progressed. My unique approach to reading which is to stimulate intere

I believe that every student learns different ways and at different rates. As a teacher it is important to learn these differences in each student and adapt your teaching style to the student. I believe that it is important to provide constructive criticism without diminishing a student's self-confidence. I want the students to feel comfortable with me so that they will feel more confidant making mistakes and asking question. This is especially important when students are reading aloud in front of their peers. I graduated with a BSE in English education. I previously taught 10th grade English at Ridgeland High School in Ridgeland, MS. My main objective was to prepare these students for the state English test. For the past six months I have been tutoring students of all grade levels in reading comprehension and writing through an online tutoring company. I enjoy teaching creative writing

Salut! I used both teacher-centered and student-centered styles because although coaching and facilitating a student in understanding the language, having the knowledge of which countries speak the language and the different terminology used by each countries can be a benefit to a student. I believe in interaction and practice of the language on the daily basis. It takes time to learn a new language but with practice, perfection follows. Anyone can speak a new language and my best reward is to see the achievement in all my student. If I demonstrate my passion and love for it, then they will enjoy learning it and have fun while doing so. It is not a matter of a teacher's knowledge but how to pass that knowledge to the student. As a native French and Creole speaker, I have the ability to teach your children the proper French as well as the jargon to adapt to any French countries whether

While serving the education department at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum, I gave hour long tours to student groups ranging from elementary age to college level in which I led discussions on several works of art. As a historian, I have been trained to analyze and communicate effectively, as evidenced by my success as a tutor at Rollins College. This position required me to clearly explain concepts, review material, lead study sessions, and edit student research papers and essays. In addition, my work as an Advanced Composition instructor for a preparatory school has further reinforced these skills, and has also given me valuable insight into the grading process for high school teachers. The Socratic method of teaching has been instilled in me as the most engaging and successful approach to learning. Through a series of deliberate, well-directed, leading questions from a tutor, the student

My teaching style is clay. It molds itself to fit individual needs. For example, some students need visual aids and some need verbal. Sometimes even these change. It's fun to work with special needs children because their thinking and learning styles are so unique. You can virtually see their minds working in interesting fashions. Hands on is another key I employ. For example if I want teach someone a software program I will have them drive while I guide them. Another factor is getting to know the student and gaining trust. They must feel free to discuss their interests and dislikes so you can steer them in positive directions. To find natural talents and help them realize their full potential is one of my major goals. Watching students learn to believe in themselves is rewarding beyond money. Teaching teaches me love and inspiration. Anything is possible. Currently I work at an alternat

I currently hold a bachelor of science degree in biology and also have obtained a minor in chemistry. The major subject areas taught in my college curriculum where biology, chemistry, math, and physics. I feel that I am completely comfortable in teaching any one of the subjects. In the past five years I have been a CPR/first aid instructor for future lifeguards. At the end of twenty four hour training class each student was required to pass a test with an 80% or better.In addition to this, during my last two college years I tutored college and high school students on a volunteer basis. These students where tutored mostly in Chemistry, Biology, and Math ranging from algebra to trigonometry. Teaching is an art that many people find difficult. I am a firm believer that through a good education students can have a future in whatever career field they choose. In essence, a teacher has the abi

I really enjoy teaching and tutoring because not only am I helping others, I am learning as well. Teaching and tutoring are about giving: giving your time, your knowledge, and the things that you know will help your students. Every student learns at his/her own pace. My teaching style is adaptive to the particular student and subject matter. I like to encourage students to learn for themselves. An example would be to explain a theory and then have the student(s) demonstrate their understanding of that theory with a concrete example, so that they are participating in the process. I like the idea of learning by participation. Both my undergraduate and graduate collegiate experiences have given me ample knowledge and skills to draw from with regard to teaching and tutoring. The experience of doing it, however, gave me much more. While I was in graduate school at the University of T

I love teaching and working with all age groups. I get excited when I see someone else get as excited about learning as I am. I am always willing and able to help someone strive for excellence. I am a patient individual and a firm believer in hands on learning and seeing that there is more to education than theory. I strive to make a difference in the lives of those that I teach. As a engineering student at The University of Alabama, I have been privileged to participate in the Freshman Engineering Program as a mentor. The role of this position is to aid in teaching freshman engineering classes, grading class assignments, and to serve as a student mentor for advising. I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in this program and really enjoy seeing student overcome something in which they have struggled with.

My teaching style is energetic and over the top. I like to think back to when I was in school and the subjects that stuck out to me, and why. It was because I was having fun learning, and that is how I try to approach each of my lessons. I relate them to real world situations if possible and try to put a personal spin on my lessons. What would make this lesson relative to the person who is trying to learn it? Children are so wonderful to be around and the smile they put on my face when they have grasped a new concept is priceless. After getting my bachelor's degree in liberal studies, with a focus in Communications and Marketing, I found myself wanting more. I became certified in Elementary Education K-6 and began teaching first grade. In addition, I have a high school aged brother that is homeschooled. He at times needs help with his studies and I tutor him in Math, Science and English
